it's not that bad, some may cause rough idle and whatnot, but it's mainly for sound and releasing backpressure. No performance increase.

but yes, it makes your car run rich. Other than that it won't damage your engine or anything. You'll just waste more gas.

Go fast bits makes 50/50 bov's. Still vents some into the resurc. hose to help the ecu. Also the stealth is good too so yuo can go from mild to wild a the turn of a button. GFB bov's are expensive but i have seen em work and i'm am going to get one. I have other stuff to spend money on right now(suspension,reflash,etc...). Stock bov will work for now. From what i hear it is good up to a pretty high hp and boost level.

running rich makes the spark plugs wear out faster. leading to misfires. just change the plugs regularly

copper always provides the best performance. must be changed more often, but cheaper and better spark.

i'm not convinced the momentarily rich condition does a damned thing to the plugs.
